Objective To investigate the
risk factors on
children with
coronary artery lesions (CAL)
secondary to Kawasaki di-sease(KD).
Methods One hundred and forty - five
patients with KD from January 1999 to December 2001 were collected. Among them, 93 cases without CAL and 52 cases with CAL. The test results,
therapeutic methods and
prognosis were analyzed in two groups. Results The duration of
fever was longer and mean value of
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) higher in group with CAL than those m the group without CAL(P0.05).The
incidence of CAL was 18.8% (18/96) in
patients of
IVIG treatment within 10 days from onset, and 69.4% (34/49) in
patients without
IVIG treatment (P
